The last two times Utah played UCLA at Rice-Eccles Stadium, the Utes held a MUCH
weaker UCLA offense to a pair of field goals in each game, a grand total of 12
points, while scoring 75 against a MUCH weaker UCLA defense.

Based on
historic precedent, which is what the author seems to be relying on, the Utes
have about a 20% chance of beating UCLA - the Bruins are 8-2 lifetime versus the
Utes, including beating the Utes 21-14 last year.

UCLA is much improved over last year. But so are the Utes. It's going to be
a fun game. I was impressed with the U's d-line against BYU. They were did
not get pushed around. As a Ute fan, I am seeing a team on the rise. Travis
Wilson has provided stability at QB and should be able to help the defense out
by moving the ball down the field. Looking forward to this game. Should be a
good one.

Whittingham will beat a top 15 powerhouse team, and one
that is legitimately ranked that high, leading Utah to the Pac 12 title game.
And Dr. Hill will be getting ready another big pay increase for Whittingham.
Utes for life!

I hope the Ute's win but they will need a lot of hope. But to be frank all
Utah football teams are not that good this year. If USU wins the MWC they may
have a chance to be ranked in the high 20's but that will be the best if
they are lucky.

Let's lay some things out first. As a UCLA fan,
I respect most Utah fans. Some are classy in their rants to support their
teams. But ChrisB, your same comment is getting old. So let's clarify
some things.

1) I hope the weather is not bad, I would hate for
either team to win because of a weather causing fumble, INT, whatever.2)
Those recent years games in 2007 and 2011, UCLA finished with 6 wins each year
and below .500 each year. The Utes were 9-4 and 8-5, I think clearly the better
team those years.3) We are better this year, a lot better than those
years.4) We have a much better QB this year, much better who knows how to
run this offense5) ChrisB, Wilson is the best QB we will face this year.
What about Nebraska's Martinez and believe it or not, Nevada's
Fajardo, might be just as good as Wilson, it's close. Don't argue,
it's true.

To many things point to a UCLA win tomorrow night.
Is an upset possible, yep maybe. But I like my chances. BRUINS WIN!

UCLA?
NopeStanford? NopeArizona State (Saying they get inside the 15)?
NopeOregon? Nope

I don't think Arizona, USC, WAZZU, or the
Buffs have a chance at the top 15 this year.

Sorry man, Top 15, not
this year. I think the Utes are an alright team this year. But not that good.
As a UCLA fan, I will say that I think your best hope is tomorrow night, that is
if the weather is crappy. But I still don't see it happening. But as I
said before, that is why they play the games. Good luck to your Utes and to my
Bruins, I hope it is a game played with no mistakes on either side, good
weather, and perfect execution on both sides. If that is the case, I think UCLA
wins. And I think you might even agree with that. Utah needs some bounces to
go there way I believe to win this game. But again, that is why they play the
game.

UtahBruin, how do you know how good UCLA is? They haven't been tested yet.
They beat a so-so Nebraska and two tin cans. They may be the best of the Pac
12- or not, but they have never proved to be a good road team. We'll see
tomorrow night.

I watch the games and give my two cents. I don't
know how good they really are. This is my perception.

How do you
know Utah is so good? And why will we see tomorrow night how good UCLA really
is? Utah has played a so-so Utah State, a so-so Oregon State, a terribly
struggling BYU team, and Weber State. Does Weber State even count as a tin can?
They might be more like a juice box. I have seen every UCLA game, I have seen
every Utah game. My money is on UCLA. If Utah goes and plays at Nebraska, they
lose. If Utah plays Nevada, it is closer than you might think, but Utah wins.
If Utah plays New Mexico State, they win big also. This is my opinion. I have
said I will eat my crow if UCLA loses tomorrow night. Will yo do the same after
UCLA spanks the Utes. You have to watch the games. You are not a poll voter,
you can't just red the box scores.

The last two times Utah played UCLA at Rice-Eccles
Stadium, the Utes had MUCH weaker offenses and still scored a total of 75
points. Utah had back up QBs in both of those games, and in 2011, Utah had less
that 70 yards passing.

Nice try. If Utah stayed the same both
offensively and defensively, then you might have a point.

Hey, but
thanks for giving us your support and your love, just like you do on all Utah
stories! We truly appreciate your dedication to the Ute program!

Who was the starter in 2007? It was Johnson wasn't it,
but the knee injury kept him out of this game. And Darrell Mack was no slouch
of a RB to pick up the slack. And I thought Hays was your starter in 2011? Was
that the year of Wynns shoulder surgeries? Even so, John White was no slouch at
the Rb position either. And Utah's Defense was good both of those years.
We had Olsen and Prince those two years. Terrible QB's, and Prince was
trying to get this new offense that every school seems to be adopting now a
days. Utah was the better team I thought both years with much more depth. We
did have J. Franklin in 2011 and he got his yards in that game, but we had Kevin
Prince also. And our Defense ranked at the bottom of the nation in 2011, and in
2007 it was alright. Giving up on average 22 Points per in 2007 and 31 PPG in
2011. I admit we were not good those years. You have to agree don't
you.

Time for Utah to establish the pecking order. I see a Bruin fan predicting a
45-17 win. Don't bet on it, the Utes play well against UCLA. BYU fans made
the same outlandish predictions before being beat by Utah. Now all they can do
is pull for Utahs opponents to do what they can't, beat Utah! How sad and
pathetic. pompous UCLA fans with crazy predictions will make Utahs victory all
that sweeter.
